Not to depress first.

This year Express Student has 1000 number less than last year. 255 might already be good enough.

Dont think so it will drop by so much by 4 points. Heard they also take it more by DSA

But the sec 3 DSA is cancelled. They cannot possibly take in that much in DSA (P6) to totally cover the number of pupils lost when they cancel Sec 3 DSA. Although not 4 marks that much, it would drop, surely.

Yeah 4 points is a lot to drop. Maybe 1 point to 258 ?

Can explain again how does has cancellation of Sec 3 DSA linked with intake into Sec 1 IP program from PSLE students ? I thought Sec 3 & Sec 1 are totally different batch ?

When I called them, they say that the cancellation of Sec 3 DSA means that the IP programme that starts form sec 3 is over. The whole thing merges into a 6 year IP programme with no sec 3 DSA. With no Sec 3 DSA, there would be lesser pupils in the IP programme, and hence, they are increasing slots, by 50, I heard.
